FROZEN CRÈME BRÛLÉE 🍮 A frozen vanilla bean crème brûlée finished with a crackling turbinado sugar shell. Just beneath the caramelized crust, the custard softens into a rich, creamy layer while the center remains frozen, creating a beautiful contrast of textures in each bite.

TOASTED FARRO SALAD 🍋 Farro lightly toasted in extra virgin olive oil, then slowly cooked in vegetable stock until tender. Folded with spicy arugula treated more like an herb than a green, dressed in walnut oil with preserved lemon, za’atar, and golden raisins rehydrated in vin jaune — an oxidized French wine with deep nutty notes that mirror the walnuts throughout the dish. Finished with 18-month-aged Cravero parmesan.

Elizabeth Colling built Merci Montecito the same way she learned to bake — by watching, by feeling, by passing something down. Flour on her hands before most people are awake. A kitchen that runs on instinct and doesn’t stop. Her daughters learned at her side. The recipes. The grit. The things you can’t write down.

Some things you just inherit.

This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating the pieces that get passed down the same way — worn in, loved, and eventually handed off to someone who already knows what they mean. The Mama Pendant. The Rolling Gemstone Bangle. The Mother of Pearl Ring. Gold that holds the story without saying a word.
